From the dust jacket:

Every year Grandma prepares the latkes for the family's Hanukkah meal, following the recipe handed down by her grandmother. This year Molly is finally old enough to help—and to learn Grandma's secrets.

As they share the tasks of grating a mountain of potatoes and mixing the ingredients, Molly and her grandmother also share the dramatic story of the tyranny of Antiochus, the faith of Mattathia, and the bravery of the Maccabees. In the end, they have a steaming plate of latkes and Molly has a new appreciation for the story of the Hanukkah miracle.

In this loving story about passing down a tradition from one generation to another, readers learn why latkes are eaten on Hanukkah and how to make Grandma's latkes. Her secret recipe is included at the end of the book.
